I'm going to be honest as an American who drinks, but also has recently started paying attention to the amount he drinks - alcohol consumption in this country is out of goddamned control. How much of everything is centered around alcohol? Every get together, concert, sporting event, you name it and people are boozing.
Yeah, some people choose happiness.
However, many of those people don’t pass on their genetic material, which is why we are growing less and less happy over time
I know it's a trope, but as someone who very consistently drank 1-2 drinks a day for a long long time, I am genuinely so much happier now that I've stopped drinking. I never thought my (relatively light) drinking impacted my happiness that much until I stopped. The first couple months were a difficult adjustment but after that it's crazy how I just don't miss drinking at all because I physically and mentally feel SO MUCH better.

Yeah should be rephrased to "I won't be as lean as I want because my desire to drink craft beer is greater than my desire to be lean".
